The Convenor for Fix the Country Movement, Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor has called on the leadership of the NDC in parliament to not pay heed to the delay tactics of the law court to forgo their planned protest against the leadership of the Bank Of Ghana (BOG).
In a post on his Twitter (X) handle monitored by Kwaku Mensah Abrampa, he questioned the seriousness of the NDC and the Minority group in parliament towards the intended demonstration and charged them to act following their plans pertaining to the protest.
“Sometimes I really do not understand the NDC as a Party. Are they a serious opposition party?”
He highlighted some points that he feels have been intimidation by the presiding Judge handling the case between the police service and the NDC over the intended protest.
1. NDC MPs claimed they wanted to go and occupy Bank of Ghana on 5th September.
2. The Police go to Court to block the protest. Not just any court. They go to the same judge who sat on the Cecilia Dapaah case. A blind man could have told you how that case would go.
3. Anyway, so The NDC answers the police application, and the hearing was supposed to be delivered on 4th September. At the hearing Edudzi Kudzo Tameklo was brilliant. He punched such fundamental legal flaws in the Police application. But you can know all the laws in the world, but if the Judge does not work for you, it’s pointless.
4. This judge claims that he needs to adjourn the matter to rule. Mind you, the protest was due the next day. He adjourns to 8th September.
5. The NDC postpones the march to 12 September.
6. He comes on 8th September. He says that the Police application was defective. BUT, I am giving the Police one week to go and correct the flaws and come back. ONE MORE WEEK.
7. Basically, He played the NDC like they were kids. The biggest opposition party. With no less a people than the Minority MPs.
8. What do you hear? Silence
9. I swear if it was FixTheCountry with the kind of following and power the NDC has, we would have called our members to go to the BOG. And let the Government arrest us and let’s see.
Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor called on the leadership of the minority to match to the premises of the Bank Of Ghana as planned with or without the court order because he sees it as intimidation and tyranny with how the case is being handled by the law court.
“Listen, democracy isn’t a spectator sport. If you want to play gently, tyranny will win always. They will use their courts and their judges. They will make you look unserious.”
“If this is the attitude of the main opposition party going into the next election, they might as well concede defeat now!
Call up people to match on BOG on Monday. The judge can chew the case!”
